Suncheonman Bay Wetland Reserve순천만습지

At a glance

Suncheon Bay is a large bay on Korea's south coast, ringed by Suncheon, Goheung and Yeosu. Its sea area alone covers more than 75 km², with about 22.6 km² of tidal flats, some 12 km² of which are uncovered at low tide. Where the Dongcheon and Isacheon streams meet the bay, a reed field of about 5.4 km² spreads in front of the flats. At the wetland reserve you can explore the reed beds and mudflats, watch the bay's birds and join an evening starlight program at the observatory.

Tips

• 01
  For the night observatory, register online; on the night you enter through the exit gate from 30 minutes before the program starts.
• 02
  Like the National Garden, the wetland closes on the last Monday of each month, so check the date first.
